RE: Need More Booster Packs? Do The Smart Thing And Save 20% On Packs! (Deprecated!)
Go sign up as a registered merchant. It's available to anyone. It is meant to incentivize businesses to use that particular market. So the real "culprit" is peakmonsters. And they are simply doing what any market would offer its most loyal merchants.
It's just like when you go to the grocery store and use your "rewards" card. It's OK. Everything is going to be fine. This is how a free market works. Maybe you are not a free marketeer. And maybe you are socialist or communist. And that's OK too. This is simply another style of economy. And these are the rules of that kind of economy.
No. People keep making the wrong comparisons and taking the wrong conclusions due to doing so. I'm not even going to discuss further on this, since it's pointless anyways. Believe what you want to :)
OK. I'm open to hearing your point of view. I'll be a good listener.
OK pizza. I have looked into it, and I fear you may actually be onto something. Ordinarily the capitalist in me likes to defend small businesses and their clever ideas. But something does feel a little off here. And let me see if this is what you're trying to say, if I may:
I think you are saying they are exploiting the affiliate discount from SteemMonsters. And 10% Is not a discount it's a commission. So they basically get the following:
10% commission
Also probably a 5% reward for referring... themselves.
They're buying 500 packs so they get a 15% discount there
And now they're getting the new 10% SP bonus/discount that SM kicks back.
Maybe they shouldn't get anything that the normal public doesn't get... which is #1
Because that would make this a wholesale distributor partnership, and as far as I understand, SM does not have that type of contract. They shouldn't be allowed to make money from SM on the cards they buy, if they are going to undercut the company that gave them that commission and sell them for even lower. Otherwise, why even get a commission?
Does that sound close to what you were trying to say?
